The BMW XM hasn’t exactly set the world on fire in the realm of M models – it’s safe to say, it missed the mark by a fair bit. However, that hasn’t deterred the cavalry of tuners armed with the mission to give it an even more attention-grabbing look. Leading this charge is Renegade Design, sprinting off the line with a tailor-made body kit. They’ve already wrapped up two out of the ten examples included in the first batch.
The Dubai-based tuner had given us a
glimpse of the bodykit through digital renderings a few months ago, but now we
can feast our eyes on real-life photos of the modified BMW XM in two distinct
setups. The first variant boasts a glossy black bodykit, creating an
eye-catching contrast with the Crayon Grey vinyl wrap on the bodywork. This kit
encompasses wider fenders, a prominent splitter with matching side sills, a
rear bumper extension, a diffuser, intake garnish at both ends, and an enlarged
rear wing.
The second example looks more sinister,
courtesy of an all-black treatment complemented by a naked carbon-fiber
rendition of the bodykit. This kit incorporates a carbon-fiber add-on on the
hood, which remains visible from the driver’s seat. Furthermore, unlike the
white BMW XM that retains the stock wheels, the black SUV rides on a new set of
massive 23-inch alloy wheels with a ten-spoke design, featuring red brake
calipers behind them. To tie it all together, every XM emblem receives a bold
red accent, matching the red leather upholstery that dominates the cabin.
Renegade Design states that their bodykits
are handcrafted and individually numbered. If you were curious, the tuner
doesn’t provide any enhancements to the chassis or powertrain of the XM. However,
this shouldn’t be much of a concern, considering that the BMW M flagship
delivers 738 hp and 997 Nm of torque from its
stock PHEV powertrain, which comprises a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine
and a single electric motor.
